Do you mean one of these?

1. You simply want a amount of time between some action and another? Use SetTimer(ID, COUNT) and IsTimerExpired functions (COUNT is typically seconds*40)
2. You want to have a countdown on screen: You counld either use a timer, or use the GetTime fucntion to update a GUI or overlay every second
3. You want to note how long someone plays a game for... store the GetRawTime value when they start to play and subtract it from the current Rawtime when they stop. You will have to work around save-games, paueses, etc. manually, though.

Could you write the script for the second one?

Yes, I could.

Well than can you type it up on this forum?

Maybe you could:

a) Say please
b) Give a little more detail on it: e.g. GUI, overlay, have you got a GUI already created? If so, what name, etc. etc. count down in seconds, starting from what number, what do you want to happen if the game is saved, etc.

Nevermind, my friend Jacob did it. Sorry for wasting your time.
